Hi! I run Hyperion Skies Studios, which puts out stock art on itch.io and DriveThruRPG; my focus is on pf2e and Fabula Ultima. I also stream games on Twitch & am an admin for the @risingtide.bsky.social Discord community
some of it is sometimes an age issue (kids are a big chunk of the snacko audience, its a cat themed farming sim) but like, we also get full grown adults too
its a "cozy game" issue. over in the snacko server we get it constantly, people expect "cozy games" to handhold them slowly through the game. if theyre presented with options for what to do its like they think theyre "supposed" to do all options at once instead of just...doing what they feel like...

like, one of the things i pointed out was that given how Trump n co handle things its clear no one needs to be pretending theyre ordering cheese pizzas, as awful as it is they can just say what theyre actually doing. no ones that secretive about anything horrible theyre doing, it turns out
on some level while it is just kind of. insane. the world we live in right now, the fact that we KNOW and its PUBLIC is useful for debunking some of the conspiracy stuff.
it's really wild, i had a conversation with someone about like, epstein, that turned into being about pizzagate and when i said that wasnt real got "YOU THINK PEDOPHILES AREN'T REAL?" which was. an experience to de-escalate. not sure it went well tbh π₯Ή
cute!!
that should say pathetically easy. whatever. im too busy being emo about it to bother fixing the posts
give me data entry any day and im happy to do it but make me do it for This Specific Application and my suffering is boundless

i was going to handle this by spreading meal prep tasks out over the weekend more, but then i accidentally didnt do shit for the first three hours of the day yesterday and ended up running late for other stuff. so i only got groceries done (which! was important! just not everything i wanted)
trying a mix of talking myself through it to give myself positive reality checks and letting myself have frequent breaks to avoid feeling too burnt out... seems to be working?? i have my meal prep ready to assemble as well, which is Another Dreaded Task, so treading carefully here is key...
okay. so my time estimates yesterday for The Dreaded Task were way off. but i'm halfway done and still ahead of schedule so we're Doing Good and have Earned a Break βΊοΈ

brought to you by "I have been avoiding [redacted work task] for two months and am close to getting into trouble for it, and I just sat down to outline time estimates so I can do it by monday... and it should take less than two hours. maybe less than one." π
like, every piece of productivity and efficiency advice will point out that avoiding and dreading tasks will eat way more time and energy than just doing them. and it's so easy to go "psh easy for you to say" but unfortunately. they are correct. if only it was easier to push through π
it's amazing how, when you actually sit down and break down the tasks you're avoiding into a cute little checklist, they really aren't particularly long or involved. hating to do the tasks inflates the time estimate by quite a bit

im not even a scientist (yet) and sometimes people make the mistake of asking me about precision oncology. i can practically hold the conversation by myself from that point until one of us has to leave
My sister is a scientist (environmental, water specialist) and you should have seen how excited she got when I asked her (what I thought was) the simple question of "what temperature does snow start to melt at?"
Scientists want you to know things so badly and will jump at the chance to explain it
Rules-lite also means assumption heavy
if youβre here in unemployment hell, do not let ANYBODY lecture you about trying harder
maybe finishing the sightseeing logs will break my anxiety. you thought starting tasks was scary?? remember when we fell off the tuliyollal tower in first person POV
if i could stop freaking out every time i see how far i could be falling when i need to jump, that would make this SO MUCH EASIER. currently parked like 2/3rds of the way up a tower bc its easy going but my heart is straight up going to murder me if i dont take a break lmao
doing jumping puzzles in ffxiv with an irrational fear of heights/falling really is just extreme mode huh

trolley problem diagram, with Sisyhpus pushing his boulder as the trolley car, and text that reads: Sisyphus is rolling a boluder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accomodate him or his boulder. If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus. But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship. Is Sisyphus happy?
a question for the ages, really.
